Long Island Fishing

Bass Proshop started on a simple premise. They saw a need in the fishing market, and decided that if no one else was going to satisfy this need, well, heck, they sure would do it. More than 30 years later, the business is an empire. Its stores are across the country. Its products are used in streams, lakes, and oceans across the world. And it’s logo is practically as household as the golden arches or the red can of cola.

But back in 1971, no such business existed. The world’s best fishermen were left to scrape together gear. In many cases, they were forced to compete with a motley mix of subpar gear. Their choices for rods, reels, and tackle were just not consistent, nor were they specialized enough to match their top-notch skills. Then came Bass. Started in Springfield, Missouri in a store that could hardly be called that—it had just eight feet of space to it—Bass Proshop began. Their first set of wares included equipment that would find on the tournament circuit that year.

Fly fishing gear has become abundant with the increasing popularity of the sport and now fly fishing websites offer literally thousands of products manufactured on a worldwide basis. With everything from rods, reels, lines and flies to clothing, luggage, videos and license plate holders, all fly fishing gear is specifically designed for the growing fly fishing market.

At the very heart of fly fishing gear is the tackle. Tackle includes not just the rod, reel and line but all the things that attach to the line as well such as the leader, tippet and, of course, the fly. An additional category of fly fishing gear includes equipment and supplies such as waders, boots, floating tubes and pontoon boats. A third major category of fly fishing equipment is the accessories that can be found on fly fishing websites. The fly fisherman needs tools like pliers and nippers, polarized sunglasses with brown or yellow lenses, special hats and layered clothing.
